Semester 1 EXAM

Front

What is the parent function of absolute value?

Back

The parent function of absolute value is f(x) = |x|.

Front

How do you add the polynomials (2x + 5y) + (3x - 2y)?

Back

The sum is 5x + 3y.

Front

What is standard form of a polynomial?

Back

A polynomial is in standard form when its terms are arranged in descending order of their degree.

Front

Given f(x) = -x + 12, what is f(-2)?

Back

f(-2) = 14.

Front

What is a dependent variable?

Back

A dependent variable is the variable that is being measured or tested in an experiment.

Front

What is a linear function?

Back

A linear function is a function that graphs to a straight line, represented by the equation f(x) = mx + b.

Front

What is a quadratic function?

Back

A quadratic function is a polynomial function of degree 2, represented by the equation f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c.

Front

What is the degree of a polynomial?

Back

The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of the variable in the polynomial.

Front

What does it mean for a polynomial to be in standard form?

Back

A polynomial is in standard form when it is written as a sum of terms in descending order of degree.

Front

What is the difference between a monomial and a polynomial?

Back

A monomial is a single term, while a polynomial is a sum of two or more terms.
